This request is for an extension with
revisions of an approved collection, Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Control Number 0970-0467. Current OMB approval of the
collection expires on February 28, 2026. Minor, nonsubstantive
updates have been made to performance indicators under this
collection to simplify response options and to bring the collection
into alignment with the Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP)
grant recipient reporting database, the Anti-Trafficking
Information Management System (ATIMS). Additionally, based on
review of performance data received, specifically the average
number of clients served by funded recipients over the last four
years, and the sunset of the Lighthouse: Services, Outreach, and
Awareness for Labor Trafficking (Lighthouse) Demonstration Program
in October 2025, burden estimates for this collection have been
reduced.
This collection captures
information on TVAP client demographics (e.g., age, sex,
race/ethnicity), type of trafficking experienced (sex, labor, or
both), types of services and benefits provided, along with
aggregate information on outreach and public awareness activities
conducted and subrecipients enrolled. Minor, nonsubstantive updates
are proposed to performance indicators with this renewal. The
revisions made to this collection, as summarized in full below,
simplify response options and to bring the collection into
alignment with the Anti-Trafficking Information Management System
(ATIMS).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
